A. de Fussigny puts ecology at the heart of his commitment. The brand wants to give meaning to consumer purchases. It values the origin of products, responsible sourcing and support for local producers. Each action aims to evolve the image of organic cognac, by placing the purchase of an organic spirit in a quest for taste pleasures that provide the consumer with authentic and transparent experiences.
The production of organic cognac requires respect for natural balances
Within Maison A. de Fussigny, the production of organic Cognac, for example, takes shape through an activity that respects the natural balance of cultures. Our choices in terms of glassware are made consciously, with a view to reducing greenhouse gas emissions linked to the manufacture of the product and its transport. Less glass means fewer raw materials to extract, less degradation of the sourced ecosystem and less energy consumed for its production. It is also a final product that is lighter to transport, and therefore consumes less CO2.
The bottles of our three organic cognacs VS, VSOP, XO are today among the lightest bottles on the market. In this dynamic, via the manufacture of a new mold, our XO carafe, a reference at A. de Fussigny, was reduced by 130 grams. That is the equivalent of 10 trucks less each year to ensure its transport.
An organic and transparent approach that influences all the House’s standards
Our organic approach, our desire for transparency, is a global work in order to generate the most positive impact possible on the entire value chain. We want to create a virtuous circle with all stakeholders in the organic spirits sector, with a view to promoting its development.
In this sense, between 2017 and 2022, A. de Fussigny increased the share of dry materials purchased in France from 50% to 85% – materials used for example for caps and boxes. The company now makes 100% of its purchases within 1,500 km of the production site. Our vodka in particular is produced from wheat grown according to organic farming standards, 40 km from us. We are the first to source this way.
Beyond the production chain, A. de Fussigny plans to take a further step in biodiversity by greening the facade of his building. A renewed freshness which illustrates that which the company wants to bring to the natural cognac sector.
